On our radar: Kathy Griffin coming to Palace

Now, the self-effacing actress and stand-up comic is way too big for that list, thanks in part to her “Katheters,” her 472,000 Twitter followers.
And Griffin’s fans, who, according to Griffin are predominately women and gay men, are loyal. They’ve helped turn her Emmy Award-winning reality show, “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List” into a hit for Bravo (it just finished its sixth season), and made her a successful author; her book, “A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin,” was a New York Times best-seller.

But Griffin is known for being outrageous and taking sometimes vicious shots at celebrities like Oprah, Paris Hilton, and The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Even her boxed wine-loving mother, Maggie, is a target.
